So, at level 9 it will increase Blessed Hammer's damage by 90% instead of 180%. Concentration will increase Blessed Hammer's damage by half of what the skill says. Lastly, you'll pick up Concentration as it is just a raw damage increase to Blessed Hammer. Both Vigor and Blessed Aim increase the damage of Blessed Hammer by 14% per level. After you max out Blessed Hammer, you'll likely go for Vigor and Blessed Aim next, as they synergize with Blessed Hammer. This will be the first skill that you max out because of how important it is, the build just doesn't work without it. So, you'll be investing a lot of points in the Combat Skills tree, but you will also pick up some useful Auras which will increase Blessed Hammer's damage.īlessed Hammer is the heart and soul of this build, it is essentially all of your damage. For a Hammerdin Build, your primary skills is Blessed Hammer, which comes from the Combat Skills tree. The Paladin has access to three Skill Trees, Combat Skills, Offensive Auras, and Defensive Auras.

Dexterity - Dexterity determines Block chance and attack rating.The melee damage isn't too important for this type of build, so really just focus on getting enough Strength to equip the best gear possible. Strength - Strength determines what type of gear your Paladin can wear, as well as how much melee damage you do.Choosing this Weapon/Shield combo over the Wizardspike and Spirit Shield will be quite expensive and really only recommended for very late game focus. When focusing more on a damage focused build, you'll also want to pick up a Heart of the Oak Runeword Flail and a Herald of Zakarum Shield. Combined with a Spirit Runeword Shield, a Hammerdin can reach 75% Faster Cast Rate very easily. In searching for Faster Cast Rate, items like Wizardspike becomes extremely valuable, with 50% Faster Cast Rate.

As such, the build can get expensive when trying to min-max your equipment.Ī Hammerdin's most desired stat from gear is Faster Cast Rate, which basically means more Hammers flying (more damage). One of the biggest issues with the build is how popular it is, causing many key items in the end game build to become more and more valuable. For this reason, Hammerdin can be a sufficient "Season Starter" focusing on Magic Find and budget items to get by. It is possible to build a Hammerdin with inexpensive equipment for end game or even specialize in Magic Find, which will increase the quality of items that drop. The Build's primary synergy comes from high movement speed and high damage output, which leads to very fast clear potential, something which is sought after for end game content. Hammerdin is one of the most iconic Diablo II Builds, where a Paladin uses Blessed Hammer, dealing damage to all enemies in the vicinity.
